Strides Pharma Science Ltd
STARStrides Pharma Science Ltd is printing record margins on a fuller multiple. From here the earnings must do all the lifting.
The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 42% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (166 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 51st percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +55.7% year on year, and 42% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd trades at ₹1,025, in a confirmed uptrend and 166 weeks into that stage. That is +5.0% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 63% of a 52-week range of ₹796 to ₹1,157. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (6 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 166 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,025 it trades +5.0% versus its 200-day average and sits at 63% of its 52-week range (₹796–₹1,157).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +105% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (6 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-25) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd trades at 16.3× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (51st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 16.1×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 16.3× is mid-range by its own standards (51st percentile), against a long-run median of 16.1× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −84.5% against a +22.5% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +23.2%/yr price move, ~+20.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+3.2 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +6.6%/yr price move, ~+13.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−6.4 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Mixed Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Strides Pharma Science Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE lifting at 18.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.
Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.
A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

4-Factor Sector Score
46.1/100 — rank 24 of 43 in Pharma - Formulators · 80% evidence confidence
Strides Pharma Science Ltd scores 46.1 out of 100 against the 43 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 24. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.2 + 12.1 + 11.3 + 6.5 = 46.1. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd reported ₹1,265 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +12.9% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 5.4% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,859 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,004 Cr.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹4,859 Cr (+6.4% on the year), capping 10 years at 5.4% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹1,265 Cr, +12.9% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +8.1% growth against the decade's 5.4% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +8.1% over the last 4 quarters against +10.4%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +79.1% vs −55.9%/yr — accelerating.
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd's operating margin is 18.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0% to 19.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 18.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0%–19.0%, and FY26's 19.0% is the top of that band — a record year.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd earned ₹165 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +55.7% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹575 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 19.7%. That is 13.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹106 Cr.
Jun 26 profit was ₹165 Cr, +55.7% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹575 Cr (−84.0%), and the 10-year compound rate is 19.7%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +12.9% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +80.0% vs revenue +8.1%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 3 fiscal years 42% of Strides Pharma Science Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹703 Cr of operating cash against ₹575 Cr of profit. After ₹644 Cr of capital spending, ₹59.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹703 Cr against reported profit of ₹575 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹59.0 Cr after ₹644 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 42% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
🚨 Why conversion sits at 42%: the cash cycle stretched 29 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.
Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 29 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Strides Pharma Science Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 157 days in FY26, up from 128 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹694 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹4,859 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹13.3 Cr, so roughly ₹2,090 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 97 days, inventory at 305 days — roughly 10.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 157 days, looser than FY21's 128.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 305 days to sell; customers pay about 97 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 244 days — netting out to the 157-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹4,859 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹13.3 Cr — so the 157-day loop keeps roughly ₹2,090 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹694 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹608 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹447 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.
Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd earns a ROCE of 18% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −5% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −0.2 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 11.8% net margin on 0.71× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 18%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −5% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 11.8% net margin × 0.71× asset turns × 2.19× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 18.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 11.8% − 12.0% = a −0.2 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd carries total debt of ₹1,758 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹3,149 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.56. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.27 in FY22 to 0.56 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹1,758 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹3,149 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.56. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.27 (FY22) to 0.56 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.
Domestic institutions cut 2.8 points of Strides Pharma Science Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 15.4% of the company. Promoters moved +2.1 points over the same window, to 27.9%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −2.8 points over 8 quarters to 15.4%; Promoters: +2.1 points over 8 quarters to 27.9%; Foreign institutions: +1.7 points over 8 quarters to 28.4%.
Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions +1.7 points against domestic institutions −2.8 points over 8 quarters, with promoters +2.1 points — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Strides Pharma Science Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
